The feel-good movie of the year!

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2003)

Come, now, people. Be not so harsh on such a brilliant film. First, I may not know from old B-movies like Dawn of the Dead and whatnot, but I do recognize a great film when I see it. The plot is simple enough, if you can understand a mild British accent, and it is rich with symbolism and far better acting than you average "zombie flick." Some may complain of the shoddy camera work. I'll admit, it's nothing for the ill of stomach, but the camera work, as with many great films, communicates the general mood of the characters being shown, much like theme music. This brings me to another point... Even if you can't handle the fast-pace editing, the rotting bodies, or the spewing blood, you can just close your eyes and enjoy the music. It's feel-good mix that would make anyone smile. Heck, there's even a little comedy mixed in.
If you don't mind death, destruction, rotting corpses, ample gore, fast-pace camera work, and a happy ending, this is easily the feel-good movie of the year. 9 out of 10. Good job, Boyle!
